I've never used this local lib thing before, but apparently it's magic and I should so I'm wondering what I need to do to install the mbserver dependencies with it

Anyone know if a weekly meeting is planned for tomorrow?
2012-01-01 00121, 2012
reosarevok certainly hopes so
2012-01-01 00126, 2012

Just wondering. It's a public holiday tomorrow in .uk, and maybe other territories too.
2012-01-01 00116, 2012

And additionally, I won't be available tomorrow evening (for an entirely separate reason)
2012-01-01 00121, 2012

Oh, I didn't know it was a holiday
2012-01-01 00127, 2012
reosarevok
Maybe it will be moved to Tue?
2012-01-01 00128, 2012
reosarevok
No idea
2012-01-01 00139, 2012

We definitely need to talk though, be it Mon or Tue

djce, how much you have to say about the server issues?
2012-01-01 00110, 2012
reosarevok is wondering if a meeting specifically about server issues would make sense, seeing there seems to be several issues with it all
2012-01-01 00121, 2012
reosarevok
(+ we got the new servers now and it might tie into it)
2012-01-01 00124, 2012

How much? <shrug> a couple of minutes. If we're meeting tomorrow then I could just post my thoughts to the list.

hope this is the proper channel to ask, but I'm wondering about http://musicbrainz.org/release/55f6b7ae-029f-4ef3… and how python-musicbrainz2 doesn't understand the discs there.. release.getDiscs() returns []
2012-01-01 00147, 2012
reosarevok
python-musicbrainz-2 doesn't understand NGS
2012-01-01 00159, 2012
entil
but as it seems the web, the release on the web there, knows it's got two discs, there's probably something in the api?
just mentioning it here in case it's something developers care about
2012-01-01 00124, 2012
nikki
it's a known issue :/
2012-01-01 00139, 2012
entil
also had severe problems attaching a toc to the release when searching for an artist, I just couldn't figure that out and was probably going to do something very stupid
2012-01-01 00151, 2012
nikki
because of the radio buttons?
2012-01-01 00132, 2012

sorry people, rebooting astro to try to fix a server issue. docs and reports will be unavailable.
2012-01-01 00115, 2012
entil
nikki: no, it's because the web looks like you can either select the radio button or click the link to make it happen - or at least that's how I read it
2012-01-01 00131, 2012
entil
and when you open the link you kinda gravitate towards adding a duplicate of the release
2012-01-01 00144, 2012
entil
fortunately I did not do this but just added the toc and now I'm ripping the disc ;P
2012-01-01 00109, 2012
nikki
there used to just be a button to click next to the release
2012-01-01 00115, 2012
nikki
I wonder if that would have been less confusing
2012-01-01 00125, 2012
ocharles
pretty sure there's a ticket for just that
2012-01-01 00133, 2012
entil
I dunno, because once you get to the release list it's clear enough, at least to me
2012-01-01 00149, 2012
nikki
ocharles: I know there is for what I mentioned because I reported it :P
2012-01-01 00152, 2012
entil
but the link next to the radio button? confusing as hell
2012-01-01 00105, 2012
entil
if you had only the artist name, it'd be obvious
2012-01-01 00101, 2012
nikki
ohh, the list of artists
2012-01-01 00118, 2012
entil
because it opens the artist page
2012-01-01 00129, 2012

ocharles: do you know of a perl module for unescaping characters in html?
2012-01-01 00150, 2012
nikki is clearly not searching for the right word in cpan :/
2012-01-01 00159, 2012

unescaping in what sense?

more weirdness, this time release.getId() returns None which upsets query.getReleaseById(release.getId(), release_includes)
2012-01-01 00106, 2012
entil
iirc that separate thing was needed for extra data
cd stubs let people submit a tracklist and disc id without being logged in (basically freedb with more accurate disc ids :P), they're not stored in the main part of the database though so they don't have links to artists or anything
2012-01-01 00139, 2012
nikki
and people who are logged in and import them so that they're entered properly
2012-01-01 00149, 2012
nikki
er, who are logged in *can* import them
2012-01-01 00117, 2012
entil
I was given the choice of importing the stub or attaching the id, I attached the id
2012-01-01 00155, 2012

that was probably the right thing to do

finnish semi-underground black metal seems exactly the stuff to test with because it's not popular enough to have been peer-reviewed a million times by the community ;)

I'm new to MusicBrainz and had a (hopefully) quick quesion about importing the database dump. Is this the right place to ask?

Cool, thanks. I'm a lamp developer and do dev work on windows. I've got Postgres and pgAdmin III installed on my Windows laptop and I downloaded mbdump.tar.bz2 and extracted the mbdump folder therein. I'm just unclear how to import the mbdump folder. The README says "To import them, you need a compatible version of the MusicBrainz server software." Does that mean I can't just import the data into Postgres without insta

Guest46653: the dumps are just tab separated files
2012-01-01 00125, 2012
nikki
so if you get a copy of the db schema and create the tables, you can use copy to import them, for example
2012-01-01 00125, 2012
Guest46653
That makes sense, but I guess I'm used to windows/mysql (where I just run SQL that creates schema and loads data). This seems different. I thought I'd be able to use pgAdmin to import the tar but that didn't work. Do you know where I get the schema and how to import it?
